Surprises
A few things surprised me as I ranked my favorite songs.
"Let It Be", which I consider a terrific song, ranked relatively low. I can never listen to the Let It Be album and feel good because I know they were so unhappy during most of the recording.
-------------------------------------
How about "Hello, Goodbye" near the bottom....and "This Boy", near the top.
-----------------------------------------
Of the 21 covers, only one, "Twist and Shout" is in the top 20. The rest are mostly near the bottom.
--------------------------------------------
My top rated George song is "I Want To Tell You", followed by "Think For Yourself" which I like better than "Something", "Here Comes the Sun", or even "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
--------------------------------------------
I'm surprised that so many songs on my favorite albums, Rubber Soul, ranked middle of the pack.
-------------------------------------------
"Help" at number 2!!! (Listen to John bare his soul...if John sang this song 1/2 speed and with an acoustic guitar it would have been taken more seriously)
------------------------------------------
Even song number 211, Mr. Moonlight has redeeming qualities...John's great vocal and Paul playing the organ.
-------------------------------------------
When you look at my "Other Beatle Favorites", you'll see another surprise. One of my favorite lead guitar parts was played by Paul....and it was on a George song!!!
